Bourbon Rose
‘Zephirine Drouhin’ is a Bourbon rose originating in 1868. It can be grown either as a climber and top out at 12 feet or be pruned to form a 6-foot-tall shrub rose. It flowers from May to June, producing numerous large fragrant dark pink blooms on thorn-less canes with semi-glossy leaves. Although tolerant of shade, best flowering and mildew-resistance occurs in full sun. Prune while dormant in late winter to early spring.
